Full commentary

Coming into this final festival winless, the Knights have now won two games in a row, and what a performance from them today!

Early wickets was the key and with four of the Reds top order falling in single figures, your not going to chase 228 sucessfully.

Three wickets a piece for Adair and Pretorius, meant that the Reds couldn't build any momentum and gives the Lightning and the Warriors a great chance to close the gap at the top in the afternoon game.

John Matchett has just been named the player of the match, so well done to him.

Please join me in about an hours time for the second match of the day, until then. This is Justin Smyth saying bye from Pembroke
